Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 706 The missing orc

The disappearance of the orc warriors, a vital fighting force for the tribe, plunged the entire Shrimp Shrimp tribe into a somber atmosphere. Even with their own shaman still in charge, some people were still filled with anxiety.

"The wrath of the Beast God has been appearing lately. Has someone done something to anger the Beast God, and thus he has sent down punishment?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If the wizard hears you, he will definitely punish you."

Furthermore, even if the Beast God were to impose punishment, it would be upon those who had angered him. Our tribe has always lived and hunted within our own territory; the Beast God will not punish us.”

"It's been so long, why hasn't the clan chief returned yet?"

"Yes, is our territory really that big?"

The whispers of his tribe reached the ears of the Shrimp Wizard, further unsettling his already troubled mind.

A suffocating atmosphere spread through the tribe and lasted until the morning of the next day. Not only the orcs of the previously missing Shrimp Hunting Team, but also the Shrimp Chieftain and his party who went out to search for them had disappeared without a trace.

The Shrimp Wizard finally couldn't sit still any longer. Having not slept all night, he walked out of his residence with tired, dark circles under his eyes.

The orc warriors guarding outside rushed forward to greet the wizard as he emerged: "Wizard, would you like some food?"

The Shrimp Wizard waved his hand and strode quickly toward the tribe's exit: "Take a few orc warriors with you and come with me to the Eel Tribe."

The orc readily agreed and quickly turned to gather his people.

The Shrimp Tribe is a large tribe that lives under the wing of the Eel Tribe. Although their fighting strength is average, they are experts in making salt, which is why they are highly valued by the Eel Tribe.

Because the Shrimp Tribe has difficulty reproducing, they are only used as logistical support in any inter-tribal battles and are never sent to the front lines.

Of course, there's also the reason that they look down on their fighting strength.

Therefore, after so many orc warriors suddenly disappeared from his tribe, the Shrimp Wizard, who always paid close attention to the tribe's population, could no longer sit still.

My younger brother is in trouble, what should I do?
Of course, I should pack up and go ask my older brother for help!
So, as the sea eel shaman and the pale-faced orc who rarely returned to have a meal with him were munching on fish, a series of hurried footsteps gradually approached and eventually stopped outside the tent.

"Great Shaman, the chieftain has a very important matter concerning the Shrimp Tribe that he wishes to discuss with you. Shall we invite them over?"

The Great Eel Shaman frowned. "The Shrimp Tribe?"

It's just a small tribe, what important things could it possibly have?

Just as he was about to refuse, the pale-faced orc licking his fish tail wiped his hands on the animal skin at his waist: "Let Uncle Chieftain come in and talk. There's no one to talk to in your tent. It's so boring."

Although the Great Eel Wizard sometimes finds his only offspring extremely annoying, he is still willing to grant his little one's wishes in such trivial matters.

A deep, resonant voice came from inside the tent: "Alright, let them come over."

The orc respectfully agreed and quickly left.

In just a moment, he entered with the chieftain of the sea eel tribe and the shaman of the shrimp tribe.

Facing the powerful sea eel shaman, the spiny shrimp shaman stepped forward tremblingly, bowed deeply to the ground, and said: "The shaman of the spiny shrimp tribe greets the esteemed sea eel shaman."

The Great Eel Shaman nodded: "Get up, sit down and talk." The tent was thick and warm, made entirely of the finest hides of wild land animals.

Of course, even the highest-ranking shaman of the Shrimp Tribe couldn't afford such a land animal skin tent.

When he entered the tent, he saw that just that one tent flap required a huge amount of salt to trade for.

"Wizard, the Shrimp Wizard just came over and said that their tribe's hunting party of orcs went out hunting and never returned. The Shrimp Chieftain led people out to search for them, but they still haven't come back."

The moray eel chieftain's expression was solemn. The incident that had occurred in the spiny shrimp tribe reminded him of the repeated occurrences of the Beast God's Wrath.

Seeing the eel shaman frown and remain silent, the shrimp shaman couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Shaman, is this the beast god's punishment?"

The sea eel shaman, his thoughts interrupted, frowned slightly and glared at the shrimp shaman with annoyance: "Your shrimp tribe has such a small territory, you can't do anything wrong, so why is the Beast God punishing you?"

The Shrimp Wizard shrank back sheepishly. Indeed, that was what he thought too.

The Great Eel Shaman pondered for a long time, recalling all the punishments that had occurred before by the Beast God, but he couldn't recall which punishment would cause the orcs to disappear inexplicably.

He looked up at the sea eel chieftain: "Send a team of orcs out to investigate. We don't know the exact situation yet, so tell them to be careful."

The moray eel chieftain nodded: "Great Shaman, perhaps I should go myself."

The Great Eel Shaman looked at him indifferently: "You are the chieftain of the Eel Tribe. There are so many things to deal with in the tribe every day. If you leave, are you going to leave an old man like me to handle all those messy things?"

Eel Clan Chief: "."

You're right, I was being immature.

Stepping out of the moray eel shaman's tent, the shrimp shaman let out a heavy sigh; the shaman's aura was truly terrifying.

The moray eel chieftain turned to look at him: "You go back first. I'll send some orcs out to investigate. If there are any results, I'll go to the spiny shrimp tribe and let you know."

"Until our people return from their scouting mission, your Shrimp Tribe should not send anyone out again. Your strength is too low, and the chances of you encountering danger are too great."

Despite being told he was weak, the Shrimp Wizard wasn't upset at all. Instead, he nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Chieftain. Our tribe really has no one left to send out. The few remaining orc warriors from our Shrimp Tribe who sent me here are the only ones left."

The sea eel chieftain patted him on the shoulder: "I know about your tribe's situation. Go back quickly. Perhaps your tribe's chieftain and orc warriors have already returned."

If you hear from them, please remember to let them know.

The chieftain of the spiny shrimp tribe gratefully agreed repeatedly. After having a meal at the eel tribe's place, he took the last few small shrimp from the spiny shrimp tribe back to the tribe.

He still harbored some anticipation, hoping that he might be able to meet the chief of the shrimp tribe and the members of the hunting team when he returned to the tribe.

But to his disappointment, instead of the chieftain of the Shrimp Clan, he was met by the equally anxious members of the Shrimp Clan.

An update is here.
